HORO­SCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The faster you re­act the less you think. Mar­keters will try to use this to their ad­van­tage, im­pos­ing a tick­ing clock on the in­ter­ac­tion. Walk away from those “lim­ited time” of­fers to­day.

TAU­RUS (April 20-May 20). You started out like a groupie, and now you’re more like a critic. Get­ting a whole lot of what you love will do that to you. Back off for a while. Find some­one else to ad­mire. This is the rem­edy.

GEM­INI (May 21June 21). Be care­ful about what you praise, be­cause what you praise may grow. Also, what you praise re­ally sig­ni­fies your val­ues and taste. Any­way, you’re be­yond giv­ing props to su­per­fi­cial things.

CAN­CER (June 22-July 22). Your vis­ceral re­sponse to mu­sic, a vis­ual art­work or an­other work of art that lands mar­velous on your senses will speak to the im­por­tance of art in your ev­ery­day life. How can you get more of this?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ask­ing for feed­back will be use­less to­day. You’re a pow­er­ful cre­ative pres­ence, and no one wants to rain on your pa­rade. How­ever, if you ask for ad­vice, you’ll get valu­able information you can use to im­prove things go­ing for­ward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). You have to in­vest in your­self to move for­ward. It’s know­ing when to stop that’s the hard part these days. Ev­ery time you rein­vest, you in­crease your risk. So how risky do you want to be?

LI­BRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Should you work to en­joy the now you have or the fu­ture you don’t? This is not to say that you won’t have the fu­ture, but now is as cer­tain as cer­tain gets; then, not so much.

SCOR­PIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Hang on through the tense parts of the day in the knowl­edge that they will pass soon enough. These lit­tle con­flicts, in­con­ve­niences and ex­pec­ta­tion ad­just­ments are re­ally un­avoid­able.

CAPRI­CORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be in an ex­per­i­men­tal and cu­ri­ous mood. Maybe it feels a lit­tle pur­pose­less, but some­times the pur­pose can be just to play around. Any­way, you can do, try, build and im­prove with­out hav­ing a goal.

AQUAR­IUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe it’s not im­por­tant that you fo­cus in on one thing. You’re a lit­tle all over the place when you tend to the dif­fer­ent things you love, but in the very near fu­ture, it will come to­gether for you in some way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pow­er­ful peo­ple know the se­cret — that roles are as­signed, parts are parceled, titles and jobs are handed out, but no­body gives power. Power you have to take.

TO­DAY’S BIRTH­DAY (Sept. 17). Suc­cess se­cret: Get sci­en­tific on your life. De­cide which met­rics are mean­ing­ful to you, and record the data over the next 12 months. With logic, you’ll fix what’s bro­ken and in­vent won­der­ful new ways to live. Fi­nan­cial self-con­trol will al­low for a big pur­chase in 2018. Pro­fes­sions of love come in May. Li­bra and Scor­pio adore you. Your lucky num­bers are: 10, 4, 44, 18 and 31.
